Biocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide for sustainable biofuel production

Publication . Oliveira, Ana Rita; Pereira, Inês Cardoso

"The development of sustainable processes to reduce CO2 levels is an urgent and challenging issue faced by our society. The use of CO2 as a feedstock for the production of added-value products, such as formate, represent a promising tool to mitigate CO2 emissions. This approach provides not only a mechanism to reduce harmful CO2 levels, (...)"

Biologic Interconversion of Hydrogen and Formate

Publication . Mourato, Cláudia Alhinho; Pereira, Inês Cardoso

"Hydrogen (H2) is one of the most promising energy vehicles in alternative to the use of fossil fuels. However, in order to use H2 as energy carrier it is necessary to find a safe, economically viable, and reasonably sized solution to store and transport it. Formate has emerged as an ideal storage compound for H2 as it is a safe compound, liquid at room temperature, which can be easily stored and transported, and furthermore it allows the sequestration of CO2 in a valuable commodity chemical. Nevertheless, for the implementation of a H2 and formate economy it is crucial to find efficient processes that can be used either for the use of formate as storage material for H2 production or for the conversion of H2 and CO2 to formate.(...)"
